1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) exposure can disrupt and disaggregate amyloid-β, indicating its potential to improve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. However, the propagation and distribution patterns of nsPEF within brain tissue remain insufficiently understood, making related simulation analysis necessary. In this study, a high-resolution three-dimensional human head model incorporating the scalp, skull, cerebrospinal fluid, gray matter, white matter, and hippocampus was constructed. Based on the spectral characteristics of nsPEF, the dielectric properties of human tissues at different frequency ranges were assigned, and a transient finite-element model of nsPEF exposure in the human brain was established. The simulation analysis identified two optimal electrode-pair positions and characterized the spatial distributions of intracranial electric field strength as well as current density. It further elucidated the dependence of the hippocampal electric field response and current density on pulse parameters. In addition, a physical human brain model was constructed to experimentally validate the finite-element simulation results. The results showed that transcranial nsPEF can reach deep brain regions with extremely narrow pulse widths, and pulsed electric fields with kilovolt-level amplitudes and nanosecond-scale pulse widths can generate electric field strengths of approximately 10
